National
Engineers Week
was created in 1951 by the
National Society of Professional Engineers and
coincided with President’s Day. This is no coincidence, since George
Washington, the 1st President of the United States was a land surveyor and
engineer.

E-Week
is held to create awareness of the contributions of engineers to
society.

What the Capital District E-Week event is doing for Students in
Engineering

The Capital District E-Week’s focus is to promote the Engineering
Profession. The purpose of this event is to raise public awareness
of engineers’ positive contributions to quality of life, promote the
importance of a technical education including a high level of math,
science and technology literacy among parents, teachers and
students, and motivate youth to pursue engineering and related
careers to provide a diverse and vigorous engineering workforce.

In
support of these goals, the E-Week event has financially supported organizations
and events that have an underlying theme to promote some aspect of engineering
to the younger community. One of our goals is to provide information on
what engineering is about so students have the resources to decide whether
pursuing engineering is for them. Proceeds from E-Week are graciously used
to help support the following worthwhile student activities.

• Capital District Future City Competition for Middle School Students

• Regional and New York State MathCounts Program for Middle School Students

In addition to financial support, our E-Week Committee advocates for all
of these programs/competitions and commonly volunteers during the events
to help make them a success. Please consider how you could volunteer
and mentor in these programs and reach out to any member of the E-Week
Committee to learn more.
